[Some time ago, Cielo had mentioned this thing called flautas and how Gale needed to try some. Cielo had also mentioned that he knew a restaurant in Vatheon that sold them. For free, like most other things in the bubble, of course.

Yukari had also given Cielo and Serph a birthday some time ago: January 23rd. And what better excuse did Serph need for a big Embryon outing in the name of flautas and birthdays?

Which brings us to a "Mexican" (whatever that means) restaurant in Vatheon, where there are at least 8 people at a table (Cielo, Gale, Heat, Rinoa, Sera, Serph, Signless/Sufferer, Tiir) with a ridiculous amount of Mexican food. Some of it is mild, harmless to the sensitive palate. But some of dishes... the spices on those are enough to make you feel like you can breathe fire after a single mouthful. The horrendous table manners of about half the people there leaves much to be desired, however...

The locals, excited at having so much business at once, decide that other people need to taste the delightful flavours of their cuisine. If you're passing by, the threat of locals forcibly dragging you into their restaurant with other poor saps is very real.]



[ooc: TL;DR A general mingle post centered around Mexican food that ranges from mild to spicy as Satan's balls. There is a very high chance your character has been forcibly dragged into the restaurant by pushy locals. WHATEVER COULD GO WRONG!?]

[The plate of enchiladas are so large, and they're covered in so much red sauce and cheese that it's hard to tell there are more than one. Intoxicated by the smell, Sera stabs at the edge of one of the enchiladas and pulls a sauce-covered bite up into her mouth.]

....nn...

[Uh-oh. Does she swallow it or spit it out? Her mouth feels like it's on fire!]

[bufudine]

[Serph looks a little alarmed at the expression Sera's making.]

Are you alright?

[Serph pushes the plate aside. How does he deal with this??]

[techno_shaman]

[Sera closes her wet eyes and decides to swallow the bite; nobody else is having a problem at the time, and she doesn't want to look like she can't handle it. Once it's down, she coughs and wipes the tears away from her eyes.]

Burning...!

[bufudine]

[Burning? Obviously the solution would be to use water on it, right? So Serph calls a nearby waitress over. When she's close enough, Serph says--]

A glass of water.

[The waitress nods and leaves. Serph can't really do much except wait, but he does give Sera a look of concern. His voice is as reassuring as he can make it when he speaks.]

She won't be long.

[techno_shaman]

[Water is a good thing. They use it to put out fires, right? She looks relieved as the waitress returns with a glass of water filled with fresh ice.]

Th-thank you!

[No time to waste. She doesn't even bother unwrapped the straw beside the glass and takes big gulps.

Well, it's definitely cold, but she can still feel the fire. It's almost as if it spread to the entirety of her mouth. She still looks very distressed.]

[bufudine]

[Oh noooooooo. Serph's at a complete loss on what to do to help Sera. Uhhhh. Serph beckons the same waitress back over.]

Do you have something that stops burning of the mouth?

[She gives Serph a ??? look at first, before nodding and leaving. She quickly returns with a glass of milk this time and holds it out.]

[techno_shaman]

[Sera looks to Serph and the waitress with confusion. Is another cold drink going to fix this problem?

It's worth a shot. The waitress would know better. She sips at the milk, fearing the spice will spread further.

But it doesn't. Nearly the entire glass is gone, but it's done the trick!]

[bufudine]

[Serph watches Sera drink, concerned. She doesn't look as distressed as before, but...]

Do you feel better?
